golink is a private shortlink service that runs inside a Tailscale tailnet, letting teams create short memorable go/ links for internal sites. It is a small Go server built on tsnet that stores links in SQLite and can resolve links offline from backups.

Use cases

  • run a private go/ shortlink service for my team
  • create short memorable internal links on a tailnet
  • self-host a URL shortener accessible only to my company
  • resolve internal go links offline from a backup
  • replace a SaaS go link service with a private one

When to choose

  • your team already uses Tailscale and wants private internal shortlinks
  • you want a simple, low-maintenance self-hosted link service with access control via tailnet ACLs
  • you need offline resolution of links from backups

When to avoid

  • you need a public-facing URL shortener for external users
  • your organization does not use Tailscale
  • you need rich analytics or link management features beyond basic shortlinks
